The Tall Metric fonts are designed so that no matter how tall they get, they are only ever 48 points wide (i.e., twice the width of a "regular" time sig). This allows you also to mix and match heights, so that you might have (e.g.) a 5x height time sig covering 5 wind staffs, a 2x height time sig over the piano staff, and another 5x time sig over the string staffs, all vertically aligned and all the same width.
(You can also create your own version of the Tall Metric fonts from Maestro using just about any font editor.)
Engraver Time is a narrow font specifically designed for this purpose. I use it at 36 pt and set the bottom symbol to -260 EVPUs. A disadvantage of this font is that it has no common or cut common symbols. Bill Duncan's font package contains Big Time which is the the same font but includes both.
